Little segment in the latest panorama with the same MO

Not a wolf but a tithonus 110, I chose mine purely because it is in much better condition than any civilian defender you could buy at the time for the money, Comes with a roll cage too.

Finally got to the bottom of this, Jacked up two wheels on the same side, with diff lock off they should both rotate freely, mine did not .. rotated but kept 'catching' the other wheel and then started turning that too .. with quite abit of rattle and clunking. So diff lock not fully disengaged...

*changed to 5 per pack

750kg lifting slings 2.1m Used once to sling a pack of round tube. Pack of 3 for £9 Inc second class postage. I can get quite a lot of these so I can do more in a pack if needed :) Being white they do show the millscale from the steel .. Perfect for engines ect Pm me

Stopped driving the defender for abit, Last time it did do the judder in reverse again as I was parking. Jacked up one back wheel with the handbrake off and out of gear,diff lock off. Tightened the main handbrake shoe screw till it catches and then backed it off a little, get 5 clicks and does...

Did mine on my 110, The old style fuses were a pain

Front wheels both spin fine with the opposite wheel still on the ground so I don't think I'm in diff lock anymore. Drove back and forward about 10 times or so a fair distance and couldn't replicate the judder I got, handbrake not completely off or not in reverse properly earlier perhaps.

I used the gasket with blue hylomar. All back together and driving again, but I think I may still be stuck in difflock from when I drove it home broken. As I reversed into a space at work I got abit of a judder, vaguely remember something similar when I was stuck in diff lock and needed to...

Well that was quite a dramatic failure, fell apart as I knocked it through. Splines look good and can't see any damage inside the diff itself so I'll clean up and refit :)

Nope that didn't work, shaft is broken inside the diff, I don't think the magnet tool will work. Diff out then ...

I've already stripped down the other side now :oops: I was expecting to fight the caliper bolts, came straight off. Well I can see the shaft through the middle now, but it looks like I should be able to hammer an m8 rod from the other side perhaps ...

I've never taken a diff apart, is it hollow through the middle? Much prefer to do that that get under it right now.

Diff end unfortunately, really didn't want to have to pull the diff but yeah no chance of getting it out otherwise. This is abit iffy on gravel..

Yup is the halfshaft,snapped. Not sure how to get the rest of it out though?
